Description from the seller
Alfred Dunhill - Faux Book– rare vintage 245 poker chips set from the 1950s/1960s
Rare and refined original Alfred Dunhill London poker chips set, dating from the 1950s/1960s, housed in its elegant original book-shaped case. The case features a rigid wooden structure exteriorly clad in genuine blue leather, with refined gold detailing and the inscription “POKER CHIPS” impressed in gold on the back. The interior is lined in camel/tan suede leather and retains the original compartments for the chips. The hardware and clasps are in brass.
Inside there is the original label:
Dunhill
MADE IN ENGLAND
The set retains its 245 original large chips, about 45 mm in diameter and 3 mm thick, divided as follows:
96 white
49 purple
76 red
24 turquoise
The chips are made from Ebonite, highly valued for its decorative possibilities. They feature a magnificent mother-of-pearl and marbled effect, with veining, shading and play of light within the material.
The chips do not bear numerical values and the set does not include playing cards, as it was specifically conceived as a Poker Chips set.
The combination of Alfred Dunhill, Made in England production, the original book-style case in wood covered in leather, interior suede, brass hardware and 245 large Ebonite chips with a mother-of-pearl effect makes this ensemble a fascinating collector’s item.
